Me and Mine {July 2015}

I am more and more grateful for this lovely linky, for encouraging me to take regular portraits of our little family, as we grow and change throughout the year. And I think my photography is all the better for having the regular practice.

It seems incredible really that we are at the end of July already, and that we only have five more of these shots to go before this year's Me and Mine is complete. This month has been my favourite of the year so far; lots of happy family days, and confirmation of a new job for G, which will give us a lot more financial security, although it will mean that we will need to make even better use of our weekends now that he will no longer be self-employed and able to take a day off a regular intervals.

I'm making the most of the opportunity to go outside and get some photos in natural light, with some lovely backdrops. July's photos were taken on a recent day out to a lavender farm in the Cotswolds, and it was the first time we've taken the tripod out with us.

This second photo is by no means technically great; my hair is flying over my face in the breeze, F is busy trying to grad a handful of it, and M is pulling a typically cheeky face, but it's so us somehow. It captures the slight chaos that goes with taking two small boys out for the day.

Oh I really love the lavender so beautiful and wish we had some up north. It's a great place for family captures. These are stunning and what a beautiful little family you have hunny. Thanks for linking up. Have a lovely weekend. #meandmine
